Walter P. Lomax, Jr.

Walter P. Lomax, Jr. (1933 - October 10, 2013) was a medical practitioner in Philadelphia neighborhood where he served for more than three decades. His practice grew from a private single physician office to a multi-site group practice consisting of over 20 well-trained physicians.
Lomax is a graduate of La Salle University and Hahnemann University Hospital, Philadelphia. In 1982, Lomax established Lomax Health Systems, Inc. (LHS), a management company contracting exclusively on health care recruiting physicians and physician assistants to supplement the city of Philadelphia's staff in the prison system. In an interesting twist of fate, in 1994, Dr. Lomas purchased the plantation where his great grandmother enslaved in King William County, Virginia. The property with its onsite graveyards dates back to 1732.
Recently, the Lincoln University (Pennsylvania) honored him with Ph.D. in science for his various contributions to health facilities. Lomax is a former Trustee of La Salle University, and The Philadelphia Orchestra (emeritus).
